Some of my favorites off of our Christmas tree

This is a photo blog of sorts...I hope I don't bore you too much. :) Here are some of my favorite ornaments collected over the years. Each time I look at these ornaments it takes me back to the first time I seen them - lovely memories. *sigh*

O Christmas Tree

We finally put our tree up...normally we would have had all 3 Christmas trees blazing bright by now but this year we've taken things a little slower than usual (which I know it's OK to slow down sometimes) but it feels weird, you know.?.

We purchased this tree last year and may I add, very last minute. Our Christmas tree was starting to look a little too worn and tired and I personally don't like to do real trees anymore (they make me super nervous - it was like each year we went out and bought one...the drier the tree was). But when we purchased this tree, Greg and I laughed all the way home -we were calling it our "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" but after setting it up and Greg not having to spend 3 days putting thousands of lights on we were pleasantly pleased with what we got - a lovely and perfectly sized tree for our tiny family room. Now it's beginning to look like Christmas! Now all I need to do is finish my shopping and wrap some gifts to go under that lonely looking tree.

Hope you are having a great month!

Blessings, Tammy
